The rich world constitute the vast bulk of emissions. Poor countries emit a tiny fraction of the total. Using poverty to justify business as usual in rich countries is totally indefensible.
A new study suggests that the massive cost of the Paris #climate agreement will lead to an increase in #poverty of around 4%. And the authors issue a stark warning that “stringent mitigation plans may slow down poverty reduction in developing countries.”

We could go a long way in slowing down climate change and cooling the planet by planting millions of trees across the world.Would not then need such stringent harsh economy punishing measures.Should be a scientific world Conference to identify where best to reforest, create new.
